I can see disinflation

Every time I go shopping, I see disinflation, I see datinflation, I see overthereinflation...

but no deflation. With prices, we are now on a new permanently higher plateau.

There is one way and only one way to bring on deflation, and that would be to flood the market with supply, particularly energy supply but also food supply. Both could happen if the greenies would get their dirty stinkin' hands off of our economic throats.

No. Negative M2 is the surest way to bring on deflation. Think Great Depression when the FED let the money supply drop by a third.
